MIT's "mind and hand" philosophy is evident in 3.091 with the introduction of the Goodie Bag. Each week, students will be issued a challenge that uses this kit outfitted with all the tools and materials required to discover the real-world aspects of Solid State Chemistry. Without giving away any surprises, the goodie bags will require teamwork, exploring new parts of campus, and a good deal of hands-on science!

DMSE was originally devoted to study of mining and metallurgy, and its graduates found work building railroads and factories during the Industrial Revolution. Today, our foundry is used in research and in student activities.

Professor Geoff Beach's group studies spin dynamics and spin-electronics in nanoscale magnetic materials and devices. Their work aims at exploring the fundamental underpinnings of new concepts in spin-based data storage, computation, and communications.

These drawn fibers have medical and communications applications. Professor Yoel Fink is continuing to develop new technologies.

Simulation of saltwater (right) flowing across a nanoporous sheet of graphene, which effectively rejects 100% of the salt to provide fresh water (left). Graphene membranes for desalination are being developed by the Grossman Group.

"He gave us his take on how today’s students are different than those in years past, and how digital mastery is helping some compensate for lack of hands-on experience. And he shared his thoughts on why we may...
